The Woodlands, Texas to host championship in November

Triathlon One O One announced the venues for their new North American triathlon series featuring an exciting new distance that is taking the multisport world by storm. The announcement, made at Town Green Park in The Woodlands, site of the 2007 Triathlon One O One World Championship, came with marked excitement from local triathletes and national industry representatives in attendance.

The Triathlon One O One series features a 1.86mi/3K swim, followed by a 80.8mi/130K bike, and finishes with a 18.6mi/30K run - a total distance of 101.06 miles. The series will launch in May in Florida, visiting California in June, Nova Scotia in September, and culminating in November with the Triathlon One O One World Championship in Texas.

The series will expand to a total of 20 events worldwide in 2008. Each Triathlon One O One event will feature a $50,000 USD prize purse and be limited to the first 1,500 age group participants. The Championship event will offer a $150,000 professional prize purse with a field limited to 2,000 participants from North America and abroad.

Triathlon One O One has brought together industry leaders in the event production and multisport business industry with the sole purpose of bringing a new brand of world class long distance racing to the multisport world. We are focused on the participant first; taking into consideration the many positive attributes of the current long distance racing scene and adding what we believe encompass many of the missing elements that keep events from being customer and family friendly.

We will strive to offer the best customer service and communication through our website and local race director blogs. Participants will be treated to world class events and destination locations that were chosen based on tremendous community support. We've listened to many triathletes worldwide and have been given the feedback we feel is necessary to satisfy the many wants and needs of the long distance triathlete.
